Let's Boycott ABC's Sponsors for its 9/11 Neo-Con masterpiece. |
|
When Rush Limbaugh was caught doctor shopping for his hillbilly heroin, Take Back the Media started a boycott of Limbaugh's sponsors. We emailed, wrote and phoned them.
The response was very positive.
In fact, I recall being quite hacked off by Oreck Vacuum cleaners as a sponsor of Limbaugh's filth. I'm not sure whether Oreck is still sponsoring Limbaugh, but they are a prominent sponsor of AAR at this time.
Let's do it, let's threaten to boycott ALL of ABC's sponsors.
We didn't think we could do it with Limbaugh but we did.

Couldn't sign up any advertisers - its being broadcast without commercials, according to Variety.

2. I caught a commercial for it and they're spinning the no commercials |
|
like this show is too important to be interrupted by mere commerce.

3. I propose boycotting ABC's sponsors in general ... |
|
That means prime time, day time, morning etc.
Boycott ALL of them.
Or at least threaten it. Works for the Christofacists.

4. Just Tell Me Who They Are |
|
I don't watch network TV, I'm not even real sure we get it. However if you'll let me know who the advertisers are for this upcomming fiction they intend to broadcast as if it represented fact I'll surly let them know that if their name is on the movie I will not buy their products.
Pure and simple. I'd don't need to tell ABC, I'm sure the advertisers I contact will be talking to them.

5. I have a sinking feeling you may be the one paying for it |
|
That is if your an American and pay taxes.
There are no known sponsors, and as far as where the funding for production came from no one has claimed responsibility.
Can you say G-O-V-E-R-N-M-E-N-T P-R-O-P-A-G-A-N-D-A? I knew you could.
